Inspired by the enduring legacy of Estonian-born American architect Louis Kahn—whose monumental yet poetic architecture redefined modernism—this birdhouse draws from his language of mass, light, and carved voids. Kahn’s reverence for elemental form and his masterful interplay of structure and illumination inform the essence of this design.

A primary nesting volume, expressed as a minimal inner cube, is enveloped by a larger protective outer cube—offering spatial depth and shielding the nest from sun, wind, and rain. Echoing Kahn’s signature approach, circular apertures are carved into three faces of the outer shell, revealing glimpses of the inner cube, the entry point, and subtly, the Chirp Birdhouse logo alongside the numeral 12. Ventilation is achieved through slender gaps between the nested volumes, allowing air to move through the structure while maintaining the clarity and integrity of the form. The result is a quiet monument to shelter, form, and light—scaled for avian life.
